1. What does it mean to fear God
Were going to take a look at another video from the Bible project and it’s going to talk about the book of Proverbs but this idea of the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom comes from Proverbs.
Show the video
Now there’s Lots of Great Insight And that Video And you could spend Sermon after sermon unpack it but there’s one really key thing I want to focus in on
That if we really want to find our identity in Christ if we really want to be true in Ambassadors of Christ If you really want to eat from the tree of life We must Care more about what Christ thinks that what humans.
In the Old Testament there is a great example There’s two of the first kings that Israel had.
One cared a lot about what people thought of him and he operated his life in fear instead of in the confidence of God.
And the other made some mistakes also But ultimately he cared more about what God thought He did About what people thought
So last week I talked about how the people of Israel had rejected God They did not fear God they cared more about what Everyone around them thought They did about what God’s desire was for them as a people.
So God gives them a king
2. The king that feared people
Never times a company do a lot of paraphrasing Going to give you the chapters Able Two Go and read the story in its entirety for yourself.
God does this miracle With Saul Elaborate story of them looking for is donkeys And when he Meets Samuel Samuel tells him He is God’s chosen guy.
And then Samuel Tells him to do this very specific task.
Samuel called the people together And he reminds them In verses 17-19 That what he’s about to do Goes in contrast With the Will of God.
I believe God has two willsHis desired willIn his permissive will.
God will That they would make him kingBut they Chose to go a different direction Yeah permissive will He allowed it But it brought a deadness to their soul the Psalm says.
This is talking about when they lusted in the wilderness but the wording is the same here God is giving them their request But because of their wickedness Their souls become Hardened.
Some translated it Plague and There’s nothing More Plague like to the soul than a hard heart towards God.
God tells the people Here’s your king.
Samuel’s a coward He’s hiding from the people He’s afraid Of the leadership is about to come his way.
Samuel is going to complete the task that Saul had already told him to do Which was to make sacrifices to the Lord Before they fight the Philistines
Saul was afraid That the people were going to leave him And he would be stuck fighting The Philistines with a small army Instead of trusting the timing of God.
In first Samuel 14 God gives them victory
God Give Saw another Task he wants to do He wants him to settle the accounts of the Amalekites A nation of people that tried to destroy Israel when they were in their infancy.
God told them that if they did that that there would come a day where they would be punished now God Orders Saul to go and completely destroyed all these people.
Maybe thinking this is harsh But the reality is I gotta give these people plenty of time to repent To make better choices chose To continue to deny And believe that God serious.
The thing that Samuel tells Saul to do Do not touch anything All of it is to be destroyed.
Saul Tells Samuel Why he did it he did it because he was afraid of the people But he is the king He’s the one who is over the people and God is over him But he fears the people more than he fears God
3. The man that fears God
David is not a perfect Character in the Bible But the thing that I noticed about David And what makes him a man after God’s own heart Is the fact that David is not afraid Of the people but God
David reminds Saul of all that God has saved him when he fought the lion and the bear And that God is with him Because he knows he is against this Philistine who is mocking the name of God.
David is very zealous for the name of God.
We live in different times how we Fight for the name of God Is how we live In our private lives With our families in our public lives in the workplace in around us.
David does not care what his brothers think David does not care what the people think David cares only what God thinks.
